should i be worried? anything to do?

Accepted Answer

CHECK BREATHING: Sleep quality is just as important as length.  A young babies and children commonly suffer from sleep apnea or similar condition. When the upper and lower jaws are not fully developed (very common nowadays) the tongue has less space to sit and during sleep partially blocks the airway, causing poor sleep.

Accepted Answer

: The child likely has a fever and you need to take her temperature. Then, you should call your pediatrician. You will need to give the toddler some fever-reducing medicine and this will likely allow the child to be less drowsy. If the drowsiness continues, the child should be seen by a doctor. Good luck!

Question 9

how to get a toddler to sleep in own bed?

Accepted Answer

Are you & Dad ready?: When you stop rewarding his behavior by allowing him in your bed, you must ignore his protests, which increase in frequency & intensity at first, every night until he stays in his own bed.Tell him you'll read, kiss & leave him to fall asleep in his own bed & stay there till am.When he gets up, put him back to bed. Don't talk or make eye contact. Repeat till he "gets it." see aap.Org for more tips.

Question 10

how to get a toddler to sleep in a dark room?

Accepted Answer

Why?: After birth, visual input becomes a comforting source of information for a child. They often sleep best in a room with enough light that they know where they are if they wake up. Different from adults, their comfort often comes from having recognizable sounds & sights near them as they drift to sleep or try to resettle in the night. Let your child have a nightlight. It's developmentally normal.
